    GGG (#1 MW in the world)
    Kovalev (#1 LHW in the world)
    Froch (#1 SMW in the world)
    Wlad (#1 HW in the world)
    Huck (#1 CW in the world)
    Vitali (#2 HW in the world)
    Potvetkin (#3 HW in the world)
    Wlodarczyk (#2 CW in the world)
    Haye (#4 HW in the world)
    Burns (#3 LW in the world)


    Eurasians dominate the heavier weight classes. Especially the top 3 weight classes.
    Khan, Brook, Bute, Kessler, Pulev, Fury, Steiglitz, Cleverly, Helenius, and Murray fit in the top 20 Euro and top 50 world rankings. But it's difficult enough for me to make a Eurasian p4p top 5 much less #'s 11-20:think

    The Jermain Taylor that got KOd by Froch would KO Ward.
    The Lucian Bute that was KOd by Froch would KO Ward.
    Carl Froch would murder ERod but ERod would starch Ward.

    Yet Ward would beat Froch 9/10 times. Froch may not be able to beat Ward, but he'd ruin everyone that would lay Ward down.:deal

    Odd ain't it, then again Kazakhstan gets included in some other European sporting events too like the UEFA cup (apparently they decided they were European rather than Asian around 2002) so there is a precedent. I, personnally would consider GGG Asian since he identifies himself as a Kazakh but I guess it's up to the individual poster how they want to categorise him.

    I would agree given Khan's recent loss to Garcia, but equally even Khans recent opponents who are a level below his usual (Molina and Diaz) are at least on par with who Burns has been fighting.

    I like Froch as a boxer, but why are people ranking him so high? He lost twice in the last 4 years (the Kessler loss was BS, but still he lost on paper.)

    I think anyone in the P4P top 5 need to be undefeated for at least the last 5 years.
